    Shawn,

    I like the sharpness and the brightness of your candid photo. However, I'm not feeling the emotional aspect of this candid. Most of the subjects have their backs/sides turned to the camera and so I don't get to see their full facial expressions.

    Respectfully,

    I am not feeling the backs to the camera, it feels like you are just a distant viewer, instead of being actively documenting the action. It ruins the image for me.

    Re: Waiting on the bride.

    I love back shots and take them all the time with my subjects, but I agree with the comments below about missing something in this. IMO the stop signs in the back ground draws my attention and the trolley/bus on the left being cut off commands some of my attention as well. I wish we could see what they were all looking at. Was the lady in front taking pictures? Of the bride? That would have been great to incorporate that in the image.

    Re: Waiting on the bride.

    Definitely has a different feel with their backs to the camera. I guess this one makes you think about what they're thinking about
